    21" Rims - 2nd rim crack in 6 months??

    Has anyone else experienced any rim cracking on their 21" tyres? I don't recall hitting anything (potholes etc) that hard to experience this, not to say I haven't for sure. Now the second tyre in 6 months? They are less than twelve months old. Bloody nuisance!

    Resale value guarantee. Worth leasing for?

    Not sure about now but when I bought my car(s) carsales wasn't exactly portraying a "true" market. There seemed to be a few opportunists waiting to pounce and very few (read if any) actual cars for sale.
